Neighborhood Watch for Reuters

My work, photojournalism, Published work, Still photography

For Reuters recently I photographed Kent Holder, a neighborhood watch volunteer with Citizens’ Patrol on Fox Island, WA, near Gig Harbor. At 74, Holder is a really interesting guy; he is a retired firefighter and still a successful competitor on the ultramarathon running circuit. Yes, ultramarathon means up to 100 miles.

Holder abides by two basic tenants of the neighborhood watch program – don’t carry a gun and don’t confront suspicious people. He obviously disagrees with the decisions made by George Zimmerman.
